Requirements

  • Meticulous attention to detail, and an analytical mind
  • Initiative, accountability and the ability to act independently and manage own workload.

Responsibilities

  • Typically work will include work on telecoms litigation matters, with a significant proportion of the work focusing on standard essential patent (SEP) litigation, an area where EIP has earned a reputation as the 'go-to' patent experts.
